    Beaumont Weddings | Mona’s Photobooth

    This past weekend we were photographing Mona and Michael’s wedding at Brentwood Country Club – beautiful wedding 🙂 Mona was all about photos (you may remember their gorgeous engagement photos from a few weeks ago), and she requested not one but two photobooths for her reception. We’ve begun offering photobooths this year, they’re a fun way to get your guests more involved in the wedding reception and gives them a nice memento of your wedding day. One of them was a “pucker up” kissing booth- a lot of fun, tho some took advantage of it more than others 😉 Mona and Michael lined up to be first here 🙂 The…

    Port Arthur Wedding – Shonte and Jim

    Shonte and Jim were married in a beautiful wedding in Port Arthur, Texas recently. Reginald Campbell of Studio Phenom fame came over from League City to shoot as the second photographer – a very accomplished/talented photographer in his own right, we’ve discussed working together for a while now and today was the day 🙂 Note: If you are viewing this on our Facebook page, the images are much nicer on the actual blog post. OK, back to the wedding: The girls are getting ready, makeup in one room, hair in another, it’s a flurry of activity leading up to the ceremony: The men step into their tuxes in a few…

    April and Michael are Married!

    You may remember April and Michael’s gorgeous sunlit engagement session from a couple months ago. They finally tied the knot on another beautiful sunny day at Wesley United Methodist Church here in Beaumont! In looking back at how I processed the following images, almost every one April is in is black and white – I guess it’s her classic beauty look that draws me to a classic black and white wedding photography style. Whatever my method, these really turned out well 🙂 Oh, Michael is all about music – playing it, singing, etc. I’ve seen him playing at Logon Cafe before in one of a few different bands, playing several…

    Linda and Jusselin

    Last week I had the pleasure of photographing my nephew Jusselin’s and his bride Linda’s wedding. Seconded again by the up-and-coming wedding photographer Marius, we were blessed to be a small part of a intimate and moving service. Those of you who have been following us for a while may remember that I photographed his brother Chris (and his bride, also named Linda 🙂 , (who, btw, birthed a brand new baby Friday night! )) last year about this time as well. Jusselin and Chris’s mom Michelle passed in a car accident when they were both infants/toddlers and they’ve had a bit of a rough upbringing. It’s been great to…
